Essentially someone posing as some sort of AI company sold DPD ChatGPT with some starting instructions, probably for at least 5 figures.

I'm sure if you poke around some freelancer website you too could spend an hour downloading a model and packaging it up for a company with a hundred million dollar market cap who wants to save $50,000 on outsourcing.
